Charleston, September 8.—Things are settling down in Charleston, and the few slight earthquake shocks which are felt once or twice a day attract little more at tention than the rumbling of passing wagons. Laborers are at work in every direction clearing away the masses of fallen brick and stone, and there arc stren uous efforts being made to protect Injured buildings from expected rains. Everywhere there arc signs of a restoration of the normal condition of things, and business is transacted just as usual. The relief committee, which was organized last Saturday, is actually at work, and his now provided accommodation" in tents and huts for over 3000 persons, and with this, subsistence. The committee is in marble columns which stood on the south i side of the church, within ■*. imv steps of the street, survived the li rue flames. The i intensity of the heat, however, caused the ! north face of the shaft to warp ; out until the marble slab was bent : like a bow. Since that time it has been regarded as a great curiosity by thousands of people. During the earth quake it was completely demolished. The sailors’ home in Charleston is a com plete wreck, and will have to be rebuilt from its foundation. The matron barely i escaped with her life. The chaplain, Rev. C. E. Chichester, and his wife were provi- i dently out of the city or they would probably have been fa tally injured. The Mariners’ church is so seriously injured that it cannot be used, and may have to be rebuilt. It will re quire at least §15.000 to replace these buildings. An appeal is made to seafaring men everywhere, who could easily raise tlie amount needed. Work among the seamen and .4ervie.es will be held on the wharves and on shipboard. Contributions can be sent to Rev. C. E.

The plan is to make the distribution hereafter upon the. recommendation of the clergy men of the different denominations in the city. Subscriptions continue to come in very freely and the aggregate now is about §100,000. This will go a long way towards relieving the present distress in the citv, but it is only a drop in the bucket in com parison with what is required to make Charleston what it was a little more than a week ago. THE SCENE IN THE MARKET to-day was cheering and hopeful. The long row of buildings, landmarks of Charleston, escaped injury, with the ex ception of the hall at the western end of the market. This is badly shaken and cracked, and will, it is feared, have to be pulled down. Tbe butchers were at their stalls, with their tempting display of joints, ribs, steaks, roasts and soup bones. No attempt has been made to advance prices. Beef is sold at from 10 to 15 cents, and other meats at I he usual prices. There was quite a falling off in the number of OUTGOING PASSENGERS from the city to-day. This was owing chiefly to the action of the railroad offi cials and of (lie city authorities. It was •found that large numbers of colored per sons were applying- for passes which they used to make excursions to the country. It was also found that a number of people, not a large number it is true, who could afford to pay were using free passes. Free transportation will lie given hereafter to those women and children only who have no home or shelter here. Reports of great distress in colored vil lages on the line or the Hputh Carolina railroad are reaching this city. There Avill be speedy action, and what relief is needed will be given out of the Charleston fund. Charleston, S. C., September 8.—The | effect, of t he great shock on Tuesday night I on the animals of the city may be illustrated i ed by the stampede of the horses at engine • house N >. t. They escaped from the house and ran in the wildest affright through the upper part of the city, snorting and neigh ing, to the terror and alarm of all whom they passed. They were not recovered un til the following morning, having run tens far as Wagner’s farm. All Hi THE MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION. those who have come to the city j from the country say that the plight of the poor animals there was pitiful in the extreme. Those which were stabled en- j deavored to break their bonds, and failing to do so stood up in their pent-up houses trembling and shivering in an agony of fear. Horses neighed out their distress in unmistakable language mid cows lowed in the most piteous manner. Those of the animals that were at large flew through the woods and, as usual, sought to hide themselves from mysterious danger in the depth of the thicket and swamps. One of the most pathetic instances of expressions of terror by dumb animals | occurred on Tuesday night. Fully half an ! hour alter the frightful shock a very sav- ! age looking mastiff approached a reporter I on Spring street, which added considera- I bly to the confusion of the momentary nr- ! peotation of another shock. The domor- i alized dog, however, came over to t lie re- ] porter and licked his shoe as an eloquent | and pathetic appeal for moral comfort. | Subsequently the animal moved off and stopped from time to time, whining ■ at every door and seeking in J vain admission in his terror. A gentleman who has just returned from Johns Island says that at an early hour j Tuesday afternoon cows and sheep came hurrieilly ir. from the fields, lay down in a circle and tilled the air with moans. Chickens went to roost long before dark and cackled constantly for some time pre ceding the shook. This gentleman was sleeping soundly at the time of the earth quake and was thrown out of bed. London, September 8.—'The Bulgarian complication is the most important matter now before Europe and fs exciting increas ing interest with every day of uncertainty. ITince Alexander’s abdication of the throne is having a very depressing effect on the European stock exchange to-day, and the gravest results arc universally feared. A serious continental >var would not surprise anyone, and there Is much in the behavior of Russia to indicate that this is her political object. 1 u addition to the hatred in which Alexander is hold by tbe imperial family, tile czar's enmity to- w rd the prince is due in a great measure to the influ in , of tin- i- Ulrica, whose antipathy lor hi i equals the gn at liking entertained i>y die present czar's mother for this her favorite m-ph -.w. The former czarina left Prince Alexander.-’ legacy of .£2,000,000 to be surrendered to him at her death. It is stated that Alexander has re ceived only t ile interest on Ins legacy from time to time and that the principal which rightly belongs to him has never yet been paid over. RUSSIA N TUEAC1I15R\.

Overcome as he was by nervous prostration and eager tu find the nearest way nut of the difficulty and out of the perplexity into which the affairs of Bulgaria had fallen, Alexander trusted this assurance implicitly, and assented to place himself thus in the czar’s bands. The result is only another evidence, of the treachery and falsehood of Russian diplo macy, from which Great Britain has suf fered more than once. nation of Bulgaria. Turkey has authorized the Ottoman bunk to issue a loan for 500,- 000 Turkish pounds, half to he payable di rectly and the remainder In installments. lli’iiinriillzulluii in Irrluiel.

C.,September 8.—Mayor Courtenay has issued a proclamation to the people of tbe city in which he says : “I have this day returned to my loved city amid widespread desolation. Its homes are shaken to their foundations, many of them utterly wrecked and few without serious injuries; and I find many of you, my fellow-citizens, with your dear anil tender families living and sleeping still under frail shelters, and some under the sky. The re cent terrible calamity and its awful suspense is still lingering in your minds. Amid the ruins of this far-reaching and terrible calamity I am profoundly thankful that so much of life and property has been spared, and I rejoice that the same forti tude and heroic patience and that trust in Cfod and Ill's providence which ha" always characterized this people is now their stay in this time of dire trouble. And i am thankful to add that in this past week of disaster the good order and helpful co-operation of all classes of our citizens has conduced to the main tenance of the public weal. «It is inspiring to behold amid these grave difficulties the resumption of the business life of our city and quenchless faith of our people in the future. Open exchanges, banks and leading houses in all departments of busi ness, uninterrupted commerce of railroads,-steamships and sailing fleets and ready wharves, busy workshops and the usual routine of business tind employments of our city proclaim that we are already going forward to a new future. I bat future is based on work,.not idleness, aim I call upon every one to seek work in any and every way possible. Although the situation is critical, it is riot insurmounta ble. It demands from every citizen in our midst calm judgment, broadest charity, a resolved determination in word and action, unfaltering trust m God to tide over the unparalelled calamity thet basso unexpectedly come upon us. This disaster that reaches every home and every part of our city, can only be met am, overcome by moral courage and the united effort of the whole people, file immediate and serioiis duty before us is the protection and succor of the homeless, sick and indigent unfortunates and helpless tnnr, crowd around us. ... “As the executive ot tlie city, it is m\ duty to create an organize! ion looking to dealing with the different problems be fore us, and as I have to act at once, 1 nave, therefore, initiated this work by nskin;? the service of some of my fellow-citizens in a worthy attempt to organize such plans as will mitigate the suffering and distuss so universally around us ana which threatens such serious consequences to many of our people. These plans win be explained if found in any nay wanting in completeness as the work progresses, i n this effort it is a source ot great gratitude to us to know that we are Not grappling with this unspeakable disaster alone. I he S ithv of "this whole union of s'a ten'll as ed us deeply,and the spontaneous giv ing of practical and speedy aid in tis our struggle shows that the large and tiu, heart of the people of_ this great eountiy beats with us. Cheered with this promis ing future, as part of a great people, wh . e helping hands are outstretched to us, t us turn manfuliy to our heritage, and, as many times in the past, on this very spot, work out, under the blessings of G pd, a new future for our now shattered mu dearly loved city.

A special dispatch says tlie German ulti matum presented gave the prince six days to retire. There was a meeting of the Bulgarian notables, representing all shades of opinion, yesterday. Zankoif was not there, as Karaveloff objected to his pres ence. The meeting was secret. Five points were agreed upon as the basis of u | regency. These points were communi- ' cated to Bagdunofr, who sent 1 hem to his ! government, which signified its approval i to-day, and another meeting of notables j was held at Radoslavoff’s house. The rc- ■ suit was not made public. Herr Saidcru, tlie German agent, called first upon tlie. prince and then upon Ure- I coif, the acting minister of foreign affairs. The prince signed lit noon to-day u:i order calling the sobranje on September 11, which happens to be the fete o'"-he czar. It was said at tlie English legation that a large portion of the army will resist the prince’s departure, which fact was com municated to all the legations by Stambu- loffand Rustaroif this aftei-no.in. Major Popeoff, of tlie prince’s regiment, says that I if tlie prince goes lie goes too. There vas | a rumor here to-day of a revolution in Bel- ! grade, but it lurne i out that it was caused by the Servians sending a battery squad ! and battalion to the frontier to arrest the l armed Bulgarian fugitives crossing into I Servian territory. Bagdanoff was to have ! gone to-day, but remains at this hour at tbe Russian legation. Cliolrra in Italy. Rome.

Washington, September 8.—To-night’s mail brought to the Associated Press ollice a note dated Charleston, September 0, and signed by S. \V. McKinley, for the commit ted asking the publication of the follow ing appeal: “Charleston, September fi, 1880.—At a mi eting held by the colored 1 citizens ot* this city, at Mount /Cion ; \ ,M. E. church, it was resolved that a committee should be appointed to present to tlie public tbe actual condition 1 of tbe colored people as suf ferers from the recent earthquake. The committee met and determined to send an appeal to the people of tins country in their behalf. We, the l'epr- sentatives of the colored people of Charles ton, S. C., who have been rendered dtsti- t'lle in many cases by the recent earth quake. do appeal to the generosity of the American people for aid in this trying hour. It is not necessary to recount the horrors of the calamity, for its extent is known throughout the country. We therefore simply ask that our people re ceive through tlie committee which has been appointed by them whatever dona- . i ‘ ^-,/xv.Li /xf f hie lanH am of his deeds m 1878. In regard t election, Russia will not seek to influence it. Russia does not care to annex Bul garia. All she desires is to acquire the right to a free passage of 1 he Bosphorus. The Russian military re present.alive will come in as soon as the prince leaves and , before the election of a successor. The Bulgariau army will be reorganized, but only Russian general officers will come. Those who took part in the counter revo lution will not be molested, nor will tin re ! be any change in the civil or subaltern military functionaries. The nriiice will .be accompanied to the frontier by Bagdanoff and Neeludoff, n «d the recently arrived Russian agents. This is to proven!; anti-Russian demonstrations. If any hitch ' occurs in the programme and if anti-Rus sian demonstrations take place, the Hus isiantroops will enter Bulgaria and tin* ! country will be placed under military regime. A LEXANDEIt’8 IN"DEM NIT V. 1 Bulgaria gave the prince 3,000.000 francs indemnity, but. as the coffers are empty, Russian money is to meet the prince’s im mediate necessities. The prince will, however, only get 1,600,000 franc because lie owes 1,500,000 francs in Bulgaria which it must assume, or in exchange for which i the prince may perhaps give his real os- | tate to the country. All the officials of his court will receive compensation com- j inensurate with the rank they held. New York, September 8.—Stock market during the morning Hours to-day was one of the dullest for many days, and absolutely without feature. The statement of tlie Western Union, however, was favorably regarded on the street, and the buying of ; that stock was specially brisk just after the | noon hour, resulting in a material advance ' J n its price. Chicago people also took hold ' of St. Paul, and it responded quickly, the i outlook for the formation of a permanent i pool being considered good. The most ! marked movements of the day, however, were in Missouri Pacific,'which was spurted up about 2 on bright prospects for the I stock in consequence of a scaling down of the interest on $7,000,(MX) in bonds to 4 per cent. The market opened about steady, first prices snowing slight changes only. The market was very dull until noon, after which time the market became strong under the leadership of Western Union, and closed at about the best figures of the day, with a general fractional advance throughout the list.

Baron Von Rifku-l, his adjutant, says the prince is physically prostrated, lie has not slept for fifteen eays. lie lies down, but the ex citement end strain of the present situation prevent s.'e< p. His features are terribly drawn and pinched. He will take up his residence alci-r leaving Bulgaria at Ingcu- heim with his father. Gadau Klfbiuli, the Turkish agent, here, says that Turkey con siders tiiis a ourcly ii»1< r/mtionnl question, to be settled oy the powers. He says that the true version of the killing of VnsoT and the wounding of the other Bulgarian fugitives between Kostendil and the Turk ish frontier, is that they were killed by Bulgarian gendarms. Seventeen were cap tured and more will be brought hero. The prince is too much incensed to issue a gen eral amnesty, but leaves that to his suc cessor. Alexander says that both army and ccun try are lost if no example is made. Instead of Doigorouki the czar will send a more important personage here as commissioner. All the Russian officers will be reinsla.* ! in the Bulgarian army. There appears to be an intention of summoning the deputies from the environs of Sofia in order that the prince may give up his crown into their hands. It is hard to foresee what the army will dp after the prince has left. Sofia is quiet, but intense excitement prevails among tlie members of the corps os officers, as it is feared that Russia will resort to acts of revenge upon those offi cers who have remained friendly to the prince. New York, September «S At an infor mal meeting held i.i New York to-day of (lie several prominent business men of Charleston and a portion of the committee appointed by the chamber of commerce at its recent 'meeting for the relief of the Charleston sufferers, preliminary steps were taken towards the organization or a trust company, with its principal office in Charleston and with branch offices in all large cities of the country, for the purpose of raising necessary funds by subscription iO its stock for the rebuilding of the ruined portion of the city, money to he loaned <.n bonds secured by mortgage on the prop erty improved at 3 per cent, interest. Dallas, Tex., September 8.—Tlie peo ple of Texas have been very sceptical here tofore as to the (ruth of the sensational re ports concerning the alleged escapade of Special Agent Sedgwick with the Jockey Club bloods of the City of Mexico. In fact, it was a hard matter until to-day to find a man who really believed that there was anything like I'rutli in the statements wired to papers in the United Stales of the alleged scandalous conduct of Mr. Sedg wick. But to-duy all doubt was uispolled when the Morning News came out with nearly a column letter written the paper from the City of Mexico, August SI, by Mr. A. J. Poi ler, one of ihe heaviest busi ness men of Dallas, who has large bite mess interests in the sister republic, his firm be ing engaged in the wholesale machinery and implement trade. Mr. Porter’s word is readily credited by any citizen of Dallas who is uonuainted with him or who knows of him. lie fully corroborates the most extreme reports that have come from Mex ico City concerning Mr. Sedgwick’s con duct. He says, af ter speaking of the way the news of Cutting’s release was received at the capital: DEEP DISGRACE. “I now refer to the disgrace Mr. Hedgjp wick has brought upon himself and lus government and consequently the disgust and humiliation felt by all decent and patriotic Americans residing or sojourning in this country. Nothing has ever occur red before affecting the interest of tlie American colony which has caused so much excitement and indignation ius the scandalous conduct of Mr. Sedgwick re ferred to. meagre reports of which you have probably received through the me dium of the Associated Press dispatches. The excitement among the American resi dents during the war talk recently com pared with the present state of feeling was out u quiet zephyr as compared to a rag ing cyclone. Consul Gen. Porch win ! tieoiclary Bayard yesterday that Mr. Sedg wick hud. by conduct unbecoming u gei tl email, forfeited the respect due a repn senttttive ol the government and his immediate recall would be demand ed by all respectable American- living there, or words to that effect.

At this i.t •. . i ur u resolution was adopted, with only two dissenting voice., approving the dispatch sent Secretary Bayard by Mr. Porch.

On the night of the 28th instant, this club gave a bail presumably in honor of Mr. Sedgwick. At all events he honored the occasion with his presence, and as usual the elite of Mexi can society attended in lull force. During the progress of tlie bail, Mr. Sedgwick drinking often and deeply, soon arrived at that point where reason takes its flight and tlie man loses all of manhood except his form. 1 a other words ho became very drunk.

His wife was driven away at the muzzle of a gun. She tolled the farm bell and one of the neighbors responded, but was driven away under threats of death. A rope was placed around Dolph’s neck and he was dragged through the woods. The rope was throw'n over a limb and he was pulled up. When he recovered his senses he was lying on a log and a man was blowing into | his mouth. He was taken thence to a j graveyard, where he was stripped.

Ariiiuisiift liiiiiiiiri'S Vermont. Little Rock, September 8.—Partial re turns from half the counties in the state indicate no change from the estimates telegraphed Monday night. The combina tions between republicans and other ele ments affected the democratic vote in sev eral counties, and duff ated the local dem ocratic tickets wholly or in part. Tlie democrats claim this county by lfXX) ma jority. The state labor ticket carried White and Nevada c juntics, and will receive probably 4000 or 5000 votes in the state, drawn about equally from the democrats and the republicans. The legislature is largely democratic. The democratic iossr.s a.id gains are about equal. THE EMRAURASSINO SITUATION in which he found himself placed, even requesting the advice and counsel of one or two of those calling on him. To-day there is evidently a move on foot by those who were associated with him in his de- 1 baud) to whitewash him. In this it is be lieved some of the higher Mexican govern- | incut officials are engaged. It is also as serted ami believed by many that it was a preconcerted plan on the pari of these ' same officials to h ad Sedgwick into this ! (rap, thereby belittling his mission and the government that sent film here. Judging ( from the broad grins that have decorated , the faces of our dusky friends lbra day or two, one is almost led to believe there is a grain of truth in this surmise. What forti fies the belief that .Sedgwick now depends upon a whitewashing and bluff game in order to vindicate himself is the fact that he has just advised those from whom he asked counsel that he j had decided to deny everything, having already wired a denial to Secretary Bayard. He may succeed in convincing ! the state department of our government i of the correctness of his actions in the premises, hut if he does do so I believe it ! will be effected over the protest of every intelligent American in this city. It is to he hoped that this special envoy, who has succeeded so admirably in bringing his government into still greater disrepute j abroad, will he recalled at once and tlie differences, if any existing between the two countries, relegated for adjustment to the American minister here, whose con servative statesmanship and wisdom un questionably Qualify him eminently for the task, it may be a consolation to some to know that Mr. Sedgwick is. or has been heretofore, according to his own state ment, in politics.
